Also a quick and dirty rule is make your plate half green...any vegetable that isn't starchy is great. starchy includes green peas (but I still love 'em) and beans, but beans can substitute for protein, good for the planet and us. Beans are high in fiber, you should look for high fiber foods.

That's why eating the whole fruit is ok versus juice. The new weight watcher's program allows fruit with no count to it, since the majority of us don't eat enough. I tend to eat more fruit then veggies, even tho I love veggies. If I could eat out all the time...salads are my fav, but they seem a lot of work to get a good one.
